A couple of multitrack experiments, some rough solo saz recordings from Avebury just after summer solstice and part of an electronic piece by Nusphere involving my saz playing.

The guitar part on track 1 was salvaged from an old tape or MiniDisc Andy sent me quite some time ago. A 1m40s section has been looped and my saz overdubbed.
The 'lyrics' on track 2 are taken from a theoretical statistics paper which I had been proofreading...the back of one page got used as scrap paper for a note I wrote to Jim, which led him to the idea for this track. He created a piece involving concertina and layered vocals (what he called "statistical funk") on a borrowed four-track, sent it to me, and I overdubbed saz and percussion. Jim's part of Red Dog Green Dog.
Track 6 is part of a longer mix involving my saz, Paul's didg and Dave's electronics. My saz part was originally recorded over some beats Dave had produced (not audible here).
